Sir Derrick Julius Wernher, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir
Julius Wernher, 1st baronet, became one of the wealthiest men in England due
to his |
|
|
|
|
interests in diamond mines in South Africa.
Unfortunately, it would seem that his eldest son |
|
|
|
did not inherit his father's financial acumen. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In May 1912 he appeared in the bankruptcy
courts, as reported in 'The New York Times' of |
|
|
|
8 May:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Derrick Wernher, son of the South African
millionaire Sir Julius Wernher, appeared in the |
|
|
|
|
Bankruptcy Court today, when an extraordinary
story of how he spent £115,000 ($575,000) |
|
|
|
was disclosed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The bankrupt attributed his failure to
extravagant living, betting, gambling, and heavy interest, |
|
|
|
commissions, and bonuses on money-lending
transactions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Derrick Wernher is 22 years of age. He was
educated at Eton and Oxford, and on leaving the |
|
|
|
university had contracted debts to the amount of
$200,000, chiefly as a result of gambling |
|
|
|
transactions, including baccarat and horse
racing. These debts were paid by his father, who |
|
|
|
then advertised in the English and Continental
newspapers that he would not be responsible |
|
|
|
for any further debts his son might incur. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Since then, the bankrupt said, he had incurred
debts to the amount of $350,000 to unsecured |
|
|
|
creditors. In November, 1910, his father
obtained an appointment for him as private secretary |
|
|
|
to
a gentleman travelling in Egypt and the Sudan at a remuneration of $200 a
month, but in |
|
|
|
May, 1911, that engagement terminated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Did your father say that if you would do
two year's honest work he would leave you his vast |
|
|
|
fortune, but that if you did not turn over a new
leaf he would leave his money elsewhere?" was |
|
|
|
asked. "He did not," was the reply. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questioned regarding the heavy purchases of
jewellery, Derrick Wernher said that Oscar Kahn |
|
|
|
was
a creditor for $245,000 under that head. He bought the jewellery in October,
1910, under |
|
|
|
the following circumstances:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He had made the acquaintance of Tery, a
Hungarian, who was acquainted with his financial |
|
|
|
necessities and suggested a plan of relieving
them. Tery said he had relations with a large |
|
|
|
jewellery
firm in Paris which would willingly do business with the debtor. Accordingly
Terry |
|
|
|
introduced him to Oscar Kahn, who asked the
witness if he were the eldest son of his father, |
|
|
|
On learning that he was, Kahn, the debtor said,
supplied him with a magnificent string of pearls. |
|
|
|
He was not asked any question as to his
financial position, and did not instruct Tery to make |
|
|
|
any statement on the subject. He gave Kahn
security in the shape of acceptances for the |
|
|
|
jewellery. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr.
Wernher added that he took the string of pearls to an address which Kahn gave
him and |
|
|
|
received for the jewels $6,000 in cash and a
check for $44,400. He took the check back to |
|
|
|
Kahn because a premium of $1,000 had been paid
in respect to a policy affected on his life. |
|
|
|
The check was cashed and the witness received
$43,000, which, with the $6,000 in cash, made |
|
|
|
up the total consideration in respect of a
liability of over $235,000. He paid Tery a commission |
|
|
|
of $4,000 out of the money. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The debtor said he had paid off a number of
debts with the money, and the remainder went |
|
|
|
chiefly in gambling in Florence and in the
payment of betting losses in England.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When Sir Julius died later that month, his
estate was valued at $25 million. Of this amount a |
|
|
|
sum of $750,000 was left in trust for life for
Derrick, with the proviso that no more than $6,000 |
|
|
|
per annum be paid to him between the ages of 25
and 30, and not more than $12,000 per |
|
|
|
annum
after reaching age 30. If and when he married, the $750,000 would remain in
trust for |
|
|
|
the benefit of his wife and any children. If he
died unmarried, the capital amount would |
|
|
|
|
revert to his father's estate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to a report in 'The Washington Post'
of 17 October 1919, Sir Derrick's "career in the |
|
|
|
United States, especially New York, has been
almost as unpleasantly spectacular as in England." |
|
|
|
This report also states that, after joining the
Army during WW1 and rising to the rank of acting |
|
|
|
Major, Wernher was cashiered following a
court-martial. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In June 1924, Derrick was arrested and charged
with perjury. The warrant for his arrest was |
|
|
|
dated 12 years earlier and alleged that he had
committed perjury during his bankruptcy |
|
|
|
|
hearing. Fortunately for him, the principal
witness against him had died in the meantime, and |
|
|
|
he was accordingly discharged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wernher died when he fell from his apartment
balcony, as reported in 'The Manchester Guardian' |
|
|
|
on 8 March 1948:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Derrick Julius Wernher (58) fell 80 feet to
his death from the balcony of his flat in Princess |
|
|
|
Gate, South Kensington, London, early on
Saturday. His body, fully clothed, was found by |
|
|
|
another resident of the flats on the terrace at
the back of the building. There is no suspicion |
|
|
|
of foul play. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A woman friend told a reporter that Sir
Derrick, who was 6ft 7in in height, suffered from |
|
|
|
|
giddiness. "But he loved to go out on to
the balcony of his flat to admire the view or, at night, |
|
|
|
to watch the lights." |

Sir Headley Dymoke White, 3rd baronet [UK 1922] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Headley committed suicide in February 1971.
The following report on the subsequent inquest |
|
|
|
into his death appeared in the London
"Daily Telegraph" of 3 March 1971:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A baronet shot himself after a lovers' quarrel,
his mistress told an inquest in Norwich yesterday. |
|
|
|
She had rejected him, she said, and he had said:
"I cannot live without you." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A suicide verdict was recorded on Sir Headley
Dymoke White, 56, who died in hospital on |
|
|
|
|
Thursday
after the shooting in a lane at Taverham, Norfolk. Sir Headley, the third
baronet, |
|
|
|
farmed 2,500 acres at Salle, Norfolk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mrs. Vilma Seppings, 37, told the inquest that
after becoming Sir Headley's secretary four |
|
|
|
years
ago, she became his mistress in June, 1968. After leaving her husband last
September, |
|
|
|
she lived in rooms at Cambridge Street, Norwich,
where she was visited by Sir Headley who |
|
|
|
provided money for her maintenance. The baronet,
she said, had by this time been separated |
|
|
|
from his wife more than six months. Two months
later she realised things were not working well |
|
|
|
between them and she told him she wanted to end
their liaison. He refused to listen and said |
|
|
|
he would kill himself. She did not take the
threat seriously. To avoid him she moved to another |
|
|
|
address in Norwich. She said Sir Headley
employed a private detective to try and find her, but |
|
|
|
they
then met by accident. Because of his threats to shoot himself she agreed to
move back |
|
|
|
to her previous address. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'She
said that last month she moved to a caravan site at Drayton, Norfolk, to get
away from |
|
|
|
him. She was due to see him on this return from
a week in Italy on Feb. 18, but she left a note |
|
|
|
instead. It said: "I must be absolutely
honest. I never intended to be waiting for you when you |
|
|
|
came
back tonight. I thought the holiday would make you realise how much better we
are |
|
|
|
apart. I have been happier these last few days
than for a long while and everyone says how |
|
|
|
much better I look. I still never intend going
home with you. I have had enough of men to last |
|
|
|
me a lifetime." The note continued: "I
shall never go out of my way to avoid you. Perhaps we |
|
|
|
ought to be adult about things and not bear any
malice. But at the moment I never want to set |
|
|
|
eyes on you again." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But, Mrs. Seppings told the inquest, on Monday
last week they met by chance and had further |
|
|
|
meetings until a quarrel on Wednesday. She
agreed to see him the following day in Norwich. The |
|
|
|
rendezvous was later altered and they met in
Breck Farm Lane, Taverham. He got out of his car |
|
|
|
and sat in the passenger seat of her car.
"We talked and talked and talked. He talked about me |
|
|
|
coming back to him, threatening to shoot himself
if I left him. I kept making it quite clear that I |
|
|
|
would not go back to him." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
told her he could not live without her. He went to his car and opened the
boot. She saw |
|
|
|
him point the end of a double-barrelled shotgun
into his mouth. "There was a flash and he fell. |
|
|
|
I ran to his side but there was nothing I could
do." Mrs. Seppings added: "I knew he possessed |
|
|
|
a gun and sometimes kept it in his car for
shooting purposes. But I did not think he would ever |
|
|
|
use it." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Headley was a major in the Army
Intelligence Corps in the 1939-45 war. He leaves a widow, |
|
|
|
two daughters and a son, Mr. John Woolmer White,
who succeeds to the baronetcy.' |

Sir William Grenville Williams, 4th baronet [GB
1798] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir
William suffered more than his share of tragedy during his life. His infant
son, Owen Arthur |
|
|
|
Williams,
died at 11 months, apparently after he swallowed some orange pips, and two of
his |
|
|
|
daughters,
together with their governess, were drowned when they fell through the ice
into a |
|
|
|
frozen pond. The following report appeared in
the "Weekly Irish Times" of 22 February 1902:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An inquest was held yesterday relative to the
sad ice accident at Rhuddian, North Wales, on |
|
|
|
Thursday, in which two daughters [Megan Louise
(11) and Olwen Harriet (8)] of Sir William |
|
|
|
Grenville Williams, Bart., and Miss Garrett,
their governess, lost their lives. The bereaved father, |
|
|
|
who was the first witness, wept bitterly, and
said he did not know the governess was with his |
|
|
|
daughters, so that she must have met them after
they saw him off at the railway station. Sir |
|
|
|
William gave his evidence with the greatest
difficulty, and was assisted by his brother, the |
|
|
|
Bishop of Bangor. The stationmaster at Rhuddian
stated he saw Miss Garrett in the water, but |
|
|
|
did not know there were other victims till the
bodies were recovered. He was able to get a rope |
|
|
|
across
the pond, and the governess succeeded in catching hold of it. He pulled her
on to the |
|
|
|
ice, but then she fell back and sank. Some of
the jury mentioned that the pond was the most |
|
|
|
dangerous one in the district, and that a spring
existed there. Several accidents had occurred |
|
|
|
there. The jury returned a verdict of
accidentally drowned, and passed a vote of sympathy |
|
|
|
with Sir William. They also expressed the
opinion that Miss Garrett (who belonged to Surrey) |
|
|

had behaved most heroically, it being evident
that she lost her life in trying to save the children. |

'Further particulars of the sad affair show that
the Misses Williams were accompanied by a dog, |

ice to slide. The animal became greatly excited |

mistresses, crying piteously.' |

Sir Frederick William Williams, 5th baronet [UK
1866] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Frederick died as a result of an overdose of
ether in Paris in 1913, aged only 25. The |
|
|
|
|
following account of his death appeared in the
Adelaide 'Advertiser,' reprinted from the |
|
|
|
|
London 'Daily Sketch,' on 19 November 1913:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The English baronet, Sir Frederick William
Williams, of Barnstaple, who died in Paris from an |
|
|
|
overdose of ether, was a brilliant, handsome,
eccentric man of 25, who devoted his talents |
|
|
|
to the pursuit of luxury. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
Paris apartments were strangely and elaborately fitted up, as were those he
used to |
|
|
|
|
occupy in London, which contained one room
draped in black, with a coffin in the centre. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'It would be difficult to conceive of anything
more extraordinary than this London "death |
|
|
|
|
chamber." Incense was kept burning in it,
and it was lighted by a solitary candle. A human |
|
|
|
skull rested on the top of the coffin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Frederick came (says the Paris
correspondent of a London paper) to France a few months |
|
|
|
ago and lived on a scale that surpassed his
London achievements. His flat in the Montmartre |
|
|
|
quarter was most expensively furnished. It was
decorated with rare flowers and perfume |
|
|
|
|
burners, and the air has heavy with scent. Here,
with his eyebrows pencilled and his lips |
|
|
|
|
reddened,
he received his visitors. At the last Mi-Careme ball he distinguished himself
by |
|
|
|
|
coming out as a ballet dancer. A few weeks ago
he took up the tango, and engaged a lady to |
|
|
|
give him lessons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His friends knew that he took drugs - he
boasted of it - but were ignorant of the fact that he |
|
|
|
had taken to ether. His intellectual attainments
were many, and he knew several languages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The death of Sir Frederick William Williams
from an overdose of ether should act as a warning |
|
|
|
to the many people who have got into the habit
of using this drug. Sir Frederick is the third |
|
|
|
victim reported from Paris within a few days.
The other two were women. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I
am afraid a great many people take ether nowadays without realising its
harmful and |
|
|
|
|
dangerous effects," said a West-End
physician to the London "Daily Sketch." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Medically, ether is used in very small
doses as a stimulant to the heart. It is also used as an |
|
|
|
anaesthetic by surgeons and dentists. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Of recent years there has grown up a habit
of taking ether as a substitute for alcohol. You |
|
|
|
can get drunk on ether just as you can get drunk
on whisky, and it's very much cheaper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"It can be drunk like any other spirit, or
is fumes can be inhaled. It acts much more quickly |
|
|
|
when inhaled. At first there is a pleasant
sensation and then unconsciousness supervenes. But |
|
|
|
when inhaled it must be mixed with air, or the
feeling is one of suffocation. An overdose causes |
|
|
|
a stoppage of the heart's action, the ultimate
effect of all powerful stimulants indiscriminately |
|
|
|
used." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A firm of chemists told the "Daily
Sketch" that a great deal of ether was sold, there being no |
|
|
|
restrictions upon it.' |

Sir William Law Williams, 8th baronet [UK 1866] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After Sir William's death, the following article
appeared in the London "Daily Telegraph" of |
|
|
|
|
2 July 1960:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir William Law Williams, the baronet who
became the licensee of an inn, collapsed and died at |
|
|
|
his club in Barnstaple yesterday, aged 53. He is
succeeded by his second cousin, Mr. Robert |
|
|
|
Ernest Williams, 36, a Canadian National
Railways brakeman and part-time guard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Canadian has three small sons and a
daughter. He had described himself as "a common, |
|
|
|
ordinary Joe." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Some time ago he telephoned Sir William, who
had no children of his own, to say he had |
|
|
|
|
discovered he was the heir, being the grandson
of Sir William's father's seventh brother. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
will inherit the Heanton estate in North Devon and the family seat at Upcott,
near |
|
|
|
|
Barnstaple.
He will also become the owner of a number of farms and shooting rights over
a |
|
|
|
considerable area. Sir William was a first-class
shot and an authority on game birds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1928 he lost a fortune of £150,000 intended
to endow the baronetcy. His great-uncle, Mr. |
|
|
|
Michael Williams, who died in 1905, left the
money to the first person born after his death to |
|
|
|
become
entitled to the baronetcy and attain the age of 21. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir William succeeded to the title in 1921. In
1928, when he was 21, he claimed the money, |
|
|
|
but the bequest was held void for remoteness by
Mr. Justice Clausen in the Chancery Division. |
|
|
|
The law of perpetuity had been overlooked when
the will was drawn up. By this law property |
|
|
|
cannot be legally tied up for longer than lives
in being at the date of the settlement, and |
|
|
|
|
within 21 years afterwards. Sir William, born in
1907, thus lost his claim by two years [i.e. he |
|
|
|
needed to claim the bequest by 1926, being 21
years after the death of Michael Williams - but |
|
|
|
in 1926, he had not yet reached the age of 21 as
specified in the will]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In 1952 he failed in another suit in the
Chancery Division. Mr. Justice Roxburgh ruled that |
|
|
|
under the will of his father, Sir Frederick Law
Williams, he was entitled only to a life interest in |
|
|
|
freeholds in Devon and Cornwall worth about
£200,000. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'As a young man Sir William joined the Royal
Welch Fusiliers, in which he became a captain. |
|
|
|
Later
he became licensee of the Exeter Inn at Heanton, on his estate, and changed
the name |
|
|
|
to the Williams Arms. He married in 1950. His
wife was then Miss Betty Kathleen Taylor.' |

Sir Hedworth Williamson, 8th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Hedworth suffered the misfortune of
accidently shooting a member of his hunting party in |
|
|
|
October 1867. The following account of this
accident appeared in 'The York Herald' on 2 |
|
|
|
|
November 1867:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Tuesday [29 October], a painful gun accident
occurred at Edlingham, a village a few miles |
|
|
|
west of Alnwick, where Sir Hedworth Williamson,
M.P. for North Durham, and a party of friends, |
|
|
|
including Col. Harrison, of the Royal Artillery,
had been shooting in the woods belonging to Sir |
|
|
|
John Swinburne. The party had followed the sport
during the morning, and shortly after noon |
|
|
|
they partook of luncheon together. Sir Hedworth
had a new breech-loading gun, of which, |
|
|
|
after luncheon, the party were discussing the
merits; and Sir Hedworth was in the act of |
|
|
|
|
handing it to Col. Harrison for inspection, when
it unfortunately exploded, the contents entering |
|
|
|
the deceased's leg near to the knee, on the
inner side, and going in a slanting direction across |
|
|
|
and up the thigh. Col. Harrison was carried to
the house of the Rev. M.G.H. Buckle, vicar of |
|
|
|
Edlingham, which was only a short distance, and
medical assistance [was] immediately sent |
|
|
|
for. Dr. Robertson, of Glanton, was promptly in
attendance, and, assisted by Dr. Easton, of |
|
|
|
Alnwick, who had also been sent for, dressed the
wound, and used every means that their skill |
|
|
|
suggested
to stop the bleeding, but without completely succeeding. As it still
continued to |
|
|
|
flow, other means were applied and stimulants
administered, but all without avail, as the |
|
|
|
|
unfortunate gentleman died from the effects of
haemorrhage the same evening, at eight o'clock. |
|
|
|
Intelligence of the sad catastrophe was
telegraphed to Mr. T.E. Harrison, engineer of the North- |
|
|
|
Eastern Railway, and brother of the deceased,
who proceeded to Edlingham, and the wife of |
|
|
|
Colonel
Harrison and his son arrived upon the scene on Wednesday. Colonel Harrison
was son of |
|
|
|
Mr. Harrison, of Sunderland, the family having
long been associated with the trade of that port. |
|
|
|
The
unfortunate colonel, who was a neighbour of Sir H. Williamson, at Whitburn,
near |
|
|
|
|
Sunderland, had been twenty-one years in India,
and only returned home last year, after having |
|
|
|
got a well-earned pension. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Another version of the melancholy affair is
that Colonel Harrison was walking in front of Sir |
|
|
|
Hedworth Williamson, who was carrying his gun
under his arm with the muzzle pointed down- |
|
|
|
wards, when, by some accident, the trigger
caught a button, and the contents of the gun were |
|
|
|
discharged into one of Colonel Harrison's legs
below the knee. It tore the calf of the leg nearly |
|
|
|
away,
and lacerated it fearfully, leaving the bone exposed. One of the party, a
military |
|
|
|
|
gentleman,
who had been in the service in India, had some knowledge of surgery, and |
|
|
|
|
succeeded in tying up the arteries, and to an
extent stopping the bleeding. Col. Harrison was |
|
|
|
carefully removed to the Vicarage at Edlingham,
and the best medical aid in the district was |
|
|
|
summoned to his assistance; but all the efforts
of the professional gentlemen could not prolong |
|
|
|
life.' |

'An Old Etonian racing driver drank himself to
death on New Year's Eve when his only company |
|
|
|
was his customary bottle of whisky, an inquest
was told yesterday. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Nicholas Williamson, the colourful and
eccentric 11th Baronet, was found by his housekeeper |
|
|
|
slumped in his favourite armchair at his country
home, Abbey Croft, in the village of Mortimer, |
|
|
|
near Reading. Dorothy Smith told Charles Hoile,
the West Berkshire Coroner, that Sir Nicholas, |
|
|
|
63,
drank up to a pint of whisky a day. She added: "He was a nice man and a
very good |
|
|
|
|
employer."
Recording a verdict of death by dependency on alcohol, Mr. Hoile said:
"My |
|
|
|
|
conclusion is that he died as a result of
alcohol toxicity." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Nicholas, who succeeded his uncle, Sir
Charles Williamson, to the baronetcy in 1946, was |
|
|
|
unmarried and had no heirs. His father, Major
William Williamson, died in action in 1942. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After the inquest Julian Lambton, his godson
and cousin, said that he remembered Sir Nicholas |
|
|
|
as the "exciting dare-devil hero of the
family." The sports car fanatic would race state-of-the- |
|
|
|
art
vehicles through the grounds of private country houses. He was national
hill-climbing |
|
|
|
|
champion in 1970 and 1972 and his collection of
cars included Maclarens, D-type Jaguars and |
|
|
|
Mercedes - the Formula One cars of their day.
Lamenting the demise of the baronetcy, created |
|
|
|
in 1642, Mr. Lambton added: "That's the
quite sad thing about it - it has to go to a direct |
|
|
|
descendant." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Nicholas had lived in Mortimer all his life
and served on the parish council. He was for almost |
|
|
|
40 years in the volunteer fire brigade, started
because of his habit of hanging around waiting |
|
|
|
for fire calls during his school holidays. Mr.
Lambton said: "In the end the firemen would let him |
|
|
|
ride on the engine and then asked him to join
when he was in his late teens." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Nicholas bought a vintage engine and
restored it before giving it to the service. The 1938 |
|
|
|
Dennis was the first ladder escape vehicle
acquired by Reading Fire Service. Now based at |
|
|
|
Windsor fire station for ceremonial duties, it
will accompany the funeral procession through |

Sir Gerard Arthur Maxwell Willshire, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Gerard was imprisoned in 1927 following his
conviction for indecent assault on a young |
|
|
|
woman. The following report appeared in 'The
Times' of 29 June 1927:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Gerard Arthur Maxwell Willshire, Bt., of
Rose House, Hindhead, was brought up at the Kent |
|
|
|
Assizes at Maidstone yesterday, committed by the
county magistrates sitting at Maidstone on |
|
|
|
May
19, on the charge of having "unlawfully and indecently assaulted and
ill-treated Jean |
|
|
|
Olds," aged 22, at Thurnham on May 10. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When committed the defendant pleaded "Not
Guilty," and reserved his defence. Yesterday on |
|
|
|
the case being called he pleaded
"Guilty," and Mr. Justice Rowlatt sentenced him to six months' |
|
|
|
imprisonment in the second division. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the case presented by the prosecution when
the defendant was before the magistrates it |
|
|
|
was alleged that he had taken Miss Olds for a
drive in his motor-car from London, stopped at |
|
|
|
a wood near Maidstone, tied her hands behind
her, having ordered her to undress, and when |
|
|
|
she was wearing only her shoes and stockings
blackened her with some [black boot] polish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Travers Humphreys [the prosecutor], after
the plea of "Guilty" had been tendered, said |
|
|
|
that additional evidence had been taken with
regard to other acts. This indicated that the |
|
|
|
defendant was very far from being a normal
person. He did things at times which were certainly |
|
|
|
the actions of a person of abnormal mentality,
possibly of abnormal sexual ideas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The Judge asked if the woman had complained to
the police. Sir Travers Humphreys - The |
|
|
|
woman at whose house she called said to the
police, "What a state she was in!" and a police |
|
|
|
officer actually saw the girl while she was
black before she had a bath. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Birkett [for the defence] said that the
very serious course of pleading "Guilty" had been |
|
|
|
taken after the most anxious consideration. That
course prevented a repetition of the painful |
|
|
|
and distressing story which had attained such
wide publicity, and moreover would save Miss |
|
|
|
Olds from another painful ordeal. There were
matters contained in the additional evidence |
|
|
|
which it was right to consider. They were
matters confined to a comparatively short space of |
|
|
|
time. On the other hand, there would be much
which one could say in favour of the defendant |
|
|
|
in every other part of his life. He had been
most happily married to Lady Willshire for four years, |
|
|
|
and Lady Willshire told him (counsel) that life
had been one of continuous happiness without |
|
|
|
any blot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The defendant, continued counsel, had during
his war service contracted a virulent type of |
|
|
|
trench fever, which still had recurrent effects
upon him at the present time. A doctor would |
|
|
|
give evidence to the effect that the trench
fever caused a mental disturbance, and in these |
|
|
|
circumstances the slightest quantity of drink
taken by the defendant had a very pronounced |
|
|
|
effect. There could be no doubt that during the
days immediately preceding the offence the |
|
|
|
defendant had been drinking heavily and was at
the same time suffering from trench fever. |
|
|
|
He (Mr. Birkett) suggested that the defendant
should be kept under medical supervision. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Beckett Overy was then called by Mr.
Birkett, and said that he was prepared in a certain |
|
|
|
event to see that the defendant went to a
suitable home where he could get medical |
|
|
|
|
supervision. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Justice Rowlatt, passing sentence, said
that he did not think it would be possible for |
|
|
|
|
anyone to have believed that the young woman who
was the prosecutrix could possibly have |
|
|
|
consented
to the sort of acts that were done. The publicity and humiliation for
the |
|
|
|
|
prosecutrix would have been very much greater,
but by pleading "Guilty" the defendant had |
|
|
|
saved that, and had done something by
acknowledging his fault towards lessening it. The case |
|
|
|
revealed a most terrible outrage. To cover a
woman's naked body with blacking and abandon |
|
|
|
her in the middle if the night was an outrage
which it was very, very difficult to speak |
|
|
|
|
temperately of. He could not conceive why a man
should do it unless under the influence of |
|
|
|
some abnormality. The defendant had been
suffering from neurasthenia and had had trench |
|
|
|
fever, but he (the Judge) was perfectly sure it
would not have caused him to do anything |
|
|
|
like this but for drink. He had seen the other
evidence which could have been given, and he |
|
|
|
had no doubt that that was the whole of the
story. The defendant seemed to fall under the |
|
|
|
influence of some curious tendencies when he got
drunk, and if he yielded to it one of these |
|
|
|
days it might be that he would handle some woman
in such a way that he would be charged |
|
|
|
with murder. |
|

'In the face of an outrage of this kind he could
not yield to the plea that the defendant should |
|
|
|
be put under medical supervision. Prison would
be an inebriate's home for him, and he would |
|
|
|
urge the defendant when he came out to take the
advice of his doctor and absolutely quit the |
|
|
|
drink, as he did not know what his future might
be. The mildest possible sentence was six |
|
|
|
calendar months' imprisonment in the second
division.' |

Sir Henry Sacheverell Wilmot VC, 5th baronet and
MP for Derbyshire South 1869-1885 |
|

|
Wilmot was a Captain in the 2nd Battalion of the
Rifle Brigade during the Indian Mutiny, during |
|
|
|
which
conflict he was awarded the Victoria Cross. The citation, dated 24 December
1858, |
|
|
|
reads:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Captain (now Brevet-Major) Henry Wilmot,
Corporal W. Nash, and Private David Hawkes, for |
|
|
|
conspicuous gallantry at Lucknow on the 11th of
March, 1858. Captain Wilmot's company was |
|
|
|
engaged with a large body of the enemy near the
Iron Bridge. That officer found himself at the |
|
|
|
end of a street with only four of his men,
opposed to a considerable body. One of the four was |
|
|
|
shot through both legs and became utterly
helpless; the two men lifted him up, and although |
|
|
|
Private Hawkes was severely wounded he carried him
for a considerable distance, exposed to |
|
|
|
the fire of the enemy, Captain Wilmot firing
with [his] men's rifles, and covering the retreat of |
|
|
|
the party.' |

Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, 1st baronet |

|
|

Wilson was an Anglo-Irish soldier whose career
reached its culmination during the Great War. |
|
|
|
In 1918, he was appointed Chief of the Imperial
General Staff and was promoted to Field |
|
|
|
|
Marshal in 1919. After retiring from the Army,
he was returned to the House of Commons in |
|
|
|
February 1922. Four months later, he was
assassinated by two members of the Irish |
|
|
|
|
Republican Army. The following report appeared
in 'The Times' of 23 June 1922:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, M.P., late
Chief of the Imperial General Staff, was murdered |
|
|
|
yesterday afternoon at the door of his London
residence, 36, Eaton-place, S.W., by men who |
|
|
|
fired at him at close range when he was about to
enter his house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Two men, who are believed to be connected with
the I.R.A., are under arrest. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After the murder the assailants made desperate
efforts to escape. Armed with large Service |
|
|
|
revolvers, they kept up fire on their pursuers
until they were overpowered. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Two police constables and another man, a
motor-car driver named Alexander Clarke, were |
|
|
|
wounded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The murder was committed just after half-past
2. Sir Henry Wilson, wearing uniform, had earlier |
|
|
|
in the afternoon unveiled the Great Eastern
Railway War Memorial at Liverpool-street Station, |
|
|
|
and
he returned home in a taxi-cab. There was nothing in the quiet thoroughfares
in the |
|
|
|
|
neighbourhood of Eaton-square to suggest the
imminence of a diabolical crime. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Henry Wilson's house stands at the corner
of Eaton-place and Belgrave-place, the entrance |
|
|
|
being in the latter thoroughfare. From the
stories of eye-witnesses it would appear that Sir |
|
|
|
Henry Wilson, on alighting from his cab, stepped
across the pavement to his door and was in |
|
|
|
the act of opening it when a shot was fired,
apparently diagonally from near the kerb at the |
|
|
|
corner of Eaton-place, only a few yards away. He
instinctively ducked, and the bullet entered |
|
|
|
the left upper panel of the door. Another shot
followed. It is stated that with great intrepidity |
|
|
|
the Field-Marshal turned towards his assailants,
and according to one eye-witness he was |
|
|
|
seen to grasp his sword as if he were about to
draw it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Several shots were then fired, apparently from
different directions, but at a few yard's range, |
|
|
|
and Sir Henry Wilson was wounded in the body,
arm, and leg. He fell on the pavement near his |
|
|
|
own doorstep. Lady Wilson, who was at home,
hearing the commotion, hurried to the door |
|
|
|
and was terribly distressed to find what had
happened. She was able, however, to assist in |
|
|
|
getting Sir Henry carried into the house. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The sound of the revolver shots brought a
number of people to the scene, and the assailants, |
|
|
|
both
young men, one described as of stout build and the other as a cripple,
having |
|
|
|
|
accomplished their cowardly task, endeavoured to
escape. Police whistles were blown, and an |
|
|
|
exciting chase ensued. The police, however, were
at a disadvantage, being unarmed, and it |
|
|
|
was soon evident that the runaways meant to
resist to the very last. They were apparently |
|
|
|
well equipped with ammunition, and they were not
slow to use it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From the scene of the outrage the assailants
made off along Eaton-place and, according to |
|
|
|
several eye-witnesses, they jumped into a
taxicab which was coming from Lowndes-place, |
|
|
|
but, for some reason, they alighted again, and
continued towards Eaton-terrace. They kept |
|
|
|
their pursuers back by turning every now and
then and firing their revolvers, and for some |
|
|
|
distance they walked backwards as they kept up
an almost continuous fire. One of the men |
|
|
|
sought to elude his pursuers by jumping into a
victoria [a form of carriage], but after riding |
|
|
|
for some distance he alighted again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The fugitives made for Eaton-terrace and the
pursuit was continued along Eaton-terrace |
|
|
|
|
into Chester-terrace where the men, still firing
their revolvers, turned into South Eaton- |
|
|
|
|
place and then into Ebury-street, where they
were arrested. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Police-constable March, who was hot in pursuit,
received a serious wound as he was turning |
|
|
|
into Eaton-terrace on the heels of the armed
men. He was hit in the stomach, and blood- |
|
|
|
stains on the pavement indicate that he had
clung for support to some area railings before |
|
|
|
staggering a few yards to the roadway, where he
collapsed on a heap of sand, at a point |
|
|
|
where
the street is under repair. Roadmen engaged at work have stated that they
were |
|
|
|
|
alarmed by the sound of shots and the blowing of
police whistles. They saw the fugitives, with |
|
|
|
revolvers in their hands, and several shots were
fired as they passed through Eaton-terrace. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The continuous blowing of police whistles
resulted in an ever-increasing crowd of pursuers, |
|
|
|
and when Ebury-street was reached there were
large reinforcements of police from Gerald- |
|
|
|
road Police Station. Many constables who were
off duty at the time joined in the pursuit in |
|
|
|
their
shirt sleeves. The police, with drawn batons, pressed forward,
notwithstanding the |
|
|
|
|
revolver fire, and when a part of Ebury-street
had been traversed, a constable succeeded in |
|
|
|
felling the smaller of the two men by throwing
his truncheon at him with well-directed aim. The |
|
|
|
other man was arrested almost simultaneously. It
is stated that a milkman, who threw a milk |
|
|
|
bottle at him, was responsible for this arrest.
There was a short and sharp struggle between |
|
|
|
him and the police, during which, it is said,
the man was heard to plead for mercy. He was |
|
|
|
soon overpowered and disarmed. The crowd assumed
a hostile attitude towards the prisoners, |
|
|
|
and had it not been for the efforts of the
police they might have been lynched. The fugitives, |
|
|
|
unknowingly,
had followed a route which brought them quite close to Gerald-road
police |
|
|
|
|
station, to which they were speedily removed.' |

The two men who shot Wilson were Reginald Dunne
and Joseph O'Sullivan. Both were members |
|
|
|
of the I.R.A. although O'Sullivan had fought in
the British Army during the Great War, and had |
|
|
|
lost a leg at Ypres, which accounts for the
description of one of the men as a "cripple." Both |
|
|
|
men were subsequently found guilty of Wilson's
murder and were hanged on 10 August 1922. |
